Managing black triangles with composite resin - often these are periodontal patients. Doesn’t that mean you’ll be bonding to root dentine?!

Continuing our Adhesive Month series in to March (oops!), we're excited to bring you Part Two of our journey into the Bioclear Adhesive Philosophy. Building on the rich discussion from Part One (PDP 178): https://protrusive.co.uk/178, we're joined once again by Dr. David Carroll and Diana McKenna as we shift our attention to anterior restorations. We focus specifically on the intricacies and challenges of closing black triangles.

Protrusive Dental Pearl: Protect the unrestored teeth and restorations from air particle abrasion! Using a soft steel matrix strip, similar but softer than a matrix band, protects the adjacent tooth's enamel when air abrading the tooth.

Example one I found on the market: Polydentia soft matrix strip (no financial interest): https://polydentia.ch/en/prodotto/sof...
